This.

Shaft play is not "broken". Turbine in thousands of crumbs in your cat converter. That's broken.

It will explode suddenly and you will immediately lose all boost and any hope of ever making boost again.

It can happen today, it can happen tomorrow. It might take another 5 years. It can happen at 10 psi, at 12 psi, at 17 psi. Mine blew as it came on boost so it wouldn't have even spooled all the way up and was probably only making 5 psi at the instant it let go.

Yes. I drive it hard regularly. Most miles are done commuting, but it gets the arse hung out on every roundabout, every on ramp and no wanker in a Commodore is allowed to win at the lights.

Ah ok. I guess the solution here is a decat 😂

I kept hearing people saying those bits can end up in your engine as opposed to going out the exhaust?

 

@R31Nismoid i think you mentioned this on another thread?

On RB26 with ceramic twins, certainly. On single turbo RBs, almost certainly not. Very rare.
